Ricky was born in Sheffield, UK and cultivated his taste for acid house music in the late ‘80s. He went on to DJ extensively across Europe and at UK clubs such as Fantazia, Eclipse, Ministry of Sound and The Cross before accepting a month- long residency at Hong Kong’s C Club in 2001. The experience changed his life forever and in 2002 he moved to Hong Kong. Here his dynamic, upfront sound found echoes in the progressive effervescence of the environment and in 2004 he joined Sasha on his Involver album tour of China. This was a great honour for Ricky, who cut his own clubbing teeth raving to Sasha at Shelley’s in Stoke-on-Trent, UK. Reflecting Ricky’s ascent, he smashed into DJ magazine’s Top 100 DJs Poll at #48 in 2005, and has now been a firm fixture in the poll for the last four consecutive years.
